Abstract: The present invention provides a semiconductor element
in which the field-effect transistor and the Schottky
diode are arranged such that a depletion layer stemming
from the Schottky diode is superimposed on a depletion
layer stemming from a junction between a second
conductivity type semiconductor constituting the field-effect
transistor and a drift region (first
conductivity type semiconductor) in an off-state.
According to preferable embodiments of the present
invention, the reverse recovery time due to a parasitic
diode can be reduced by providing the Schottky diode
such that the element area of the semiconductor element
is not increased. Moreover, the breakdown voltage in
the semiconductor element can be improved.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for protecting against and/or responding to an overload condition at a node (“victim”) in a distributed network divert traffic otherwise destined for the victim to one or more other nodes, which can filter the diverted traffic, passing a portion of it to the victim, and/or effect processing of one or more of the diverted packets on behalf of the victim. Diversion can be performed by one or more nodes (collectively, a “first set” of nodes) external to the victim. Filtering and/or effecting traffic processing can be performed by one or more nodes (collectively, a “second set” of nodes) also external to the victim. Those first and second sets can have zero, one or more nodes in common—or, put another way, they may wholly, partially or not overlap. The methods and apparatus have application in protecting nodes in a distributed network, such as the Internet, against distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks.
